This weekend marked the beginning of the World Athletics Championships in Oregon, with both Chris Mitrevski (long jump) and Linden Hall (1500m) featuring on Day 1.
Mitrevski made his World Championship debut at the historic Hayward Field and stood strong amongst the world’s best. Mitrevski performed admirably, jumping 7.82m to finish 17th.
Linden Hall began her third World Championship campaign successfully after qualifying for the semi finals. Hall was part of the fastest heat and qualified for the semi finals with the third fastest time, 4:03.21, her quickest time at a World Championship. Hall was placed in the highly competitive semi final 1 which saw her forced wide before she managed to jostle her way back into the pack, before being forced to lead for the next few laps. Finishing the race in 4:04.65, saw Hall finish 12th and just miss out on qualifying for the final.
Congratulations to both athletes on their performances in Oregon. We wish both athletes the best of luck as they recover and begin preparing for the Commonwealth Games in a few weeks.
